Ethernet error statistics

RouterOS General

Hi all,

Hopefully an easy one I’m overlooking… how do I see ethernet error statistics?

Thanks,
Rich

via SNMP only…

/interface print oid

Hopefully we’ll see this feature in RouterOS really soon. It’s just one of the basic must-haves on any router/firewall.

Interface statistics should at least show up in CLI under

/interface ethernet print detail

Also, how do I see what speed and duplex the interface is currently running in from CLI? From Winbox I can see what rate each interface is running in, but from CLI I can only see the following:

/interface ethernet print detail
Flags: X - disabled, R - running, S - slave
 0 R  name="eth1-inet" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:0C:42:20:8C:98 arp=enabled auto-negotiation=yes full-duplex=yes speed=100Mbps

 1 R  name="eth2-switch" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:0C:42:20:8C:99 arp=enabled auto-negotiation=yes full-duplex=yes speed=100Mbps

 2 R  name="eth3-dmz" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:0C:42:20:8C:9A arp=enabled auto-negotiation=yes full-duplex=yes speed=100Mbps

 3    name="ether4" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:0C:42:20:8C:9B arp=enabled auto-negotiation=yes full-duplex=yes speed=100Mbps

Note: The full-duplex/speed values here are NOT what the interface is accually running in, it’s the values I would use if auto-neg=no. 3 of theese interfaces are accually running in 1Gbps.

Tested on ROS 3.20.

It would be really nice / useful to have duplex negotiated speed displayed in SNMP as well as command line.

You CAN however use “monitor” to find this info in the CLI:

“/interface ethernet monitor 4 once
name: ether5
status: link-ok
auto-negotiation: done
rate: 1Gbps
full-duplex: yes
tx-flow-control: no
rx-flow-control: no
advertising: 10M-half,10M-full,100M-half,100M-full,1000M-half,1000M-full
link-partner-advertising: 10M-half,10M-full,100M-half,100M-full,1000M-full”

" /interface ethernet monitor 4 once
name: ether5-Mimosa_POE
status: link-ok
auto-negotiation: done
rate: 100Mbps
full-duplex: no
tx-flow-control: no
rx-flow-control: no
advertising: 10M-half,100M-half,1000M-half
link-partner-advertising: 10M-half,10M-full,100M-half,100M-full,1000M-full"

But it is clunky kinda.
Cisco has SNMP duplex status in SNMP - but not Mikrotik!
Specifically “dot3StatsDuplexStatus”
